“No Tears For Ernest Creech” Takes the Limelight at NYLA 2022
Loretta Creech’s biography of her late father gets recognized at ReadersMagnet’s book exhibit at NYLA 2022.
“The feuding days are gone, and economic conditions have changed the whole life of Appalachia. But the spirit of the mountain people lives on, a witness to the men of long past generations who struggled against many difficulties.” Ted Humes
The stage was all set. Loretta Creech’s book “No Tears For Ernest Creech: The Death of a Coal Miner in the Hills of Appalachian” took its place in the sun when self-publishing company ReadersMagnet exhibited the biography of a late coal miner at the New York Library Association (NYLA) 2022 Annual Conference & Trade Show.
Held last November 3-4, 2022, at the Saratoga Springs City Center, New York, the successfully concluded NYLA 2022 was considered the largest library conference on the East Coast. The event saw hundreds of attendees and participants, comprised of librarians, trustees, academics, library supporters, and literature lovers from all walks of life.
NYLA 2022, organized by the New York chapter of the American Library Association (ALA), was aimed at promoting the advancement of the New York library community through various programs, events, and exhibitions of the latest and most innovative products.
The moving book tribute “No Tears For Ernest Creech” was exhibited at the book display event, joining other prominent books in the said exhibition. Set against the backdrop of the hills and the lives revolving around Appalachia, the Southern biography shares an account surrounding the death of coal miner Ernest Creech during a union picket strike in 1965 in Leatherwood, Kentucky. The book also tells how his death impacted the community and the lives of his family.
“No Tears For Ernest Creech” is Loretta Creech’s first published book. In the book, Loretta not only remembers her father but also recognizes her mother’s efforts in raising all ten children by herself after the death of her husband.
Get ready to be moved and to know the reality of life in Appalachia. Order Loretta Creech’s “No Tears For Ernest Creech” at ReadersMagnet Bookstore, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
